She was sent to Prosecutor Bingham for the necessary protection and had hardly reached his office when a cry of fire was made. It was found that their residence was on fire.

Good citizens soon extinguished the flame and William was marched to mail. He had a hearing before Mayor Martin and placed under $1,000 bond, in default of whih he was sent to jail to await the action of the court.
